Ever wondered just how small they are?

For your viewing pleasure, here's a two day old Buff Japanese next to a grade A store bought large egg.

Hmmm... maybe it's just a very BIG EGG.

That's a great photograph!

awww it is soo cute!!

I'm getting a BTW japanese bantam in TWO DAYS! (cant wait) ... now i am 10 times more exited! I would explode with exitingness (...) exept i know that if i did my chicks would die, as nobody else in my family has any clue at all about chick/chickens.

Thanks for posting that picture - very cute. I'm getting 5 bantams next Wednesday and I was wondering how much smaller they are to the standard chicken. Thanks!!

Here is a photo I took comparing my biggest chick, a Black Langshan, to the same Japanese in the original picture. They are both two days old.
